The fallen crane


The crane was installing a sign for the Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge when it went over dropping the sign and crushing it. The road was closed for over four hours while the boom truck was recovered.

The recovery of the boom truck took over four hours


The new bridge was opened in December but traffic has been light, the signs are intended to alert travellers to the new crossing over the Rio Grande into Mexico. A new sign will apparently take at least eight weeks to make.
